Chapter 1
At 1 p.m., Jiang Qi arrived at the store on time to prepare the raw materials needed to make milk tea.
Since he started his sideline business of selling milk tea, Jiang Qi has been the first to open the store. Boiling water and making tea takes time, and the preparations are often done by Jiang Qi alone. When everything is ready and the script-killing store is open for business, Jiang Qi's milk tea, ice cream and grilled sausages can be sold on time.
The daughter of the owner of the ramen restaurant next door is usually Jiang Qi's first customer. The little girl loves to drink milk tea, and her parents don't stop her during holidays. Every day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, she will hold a cup and put money in her pocket and run to Jiang Qi's store to have a cup of pearl milk tea.
Unshakable and very punctual.
But today is different. Jiang Qi’s first customer today is Zhou Yuan.
"Boss Jiang, good afternoon." Zhou Yuan was passing by the script-killing shop carrying a small black shoulder bag, and happened to see Jiang Qi counting cups through the small window.
I saw the price list by the way.
Zhou Yuan, who originally didn't plan to drink milk tea, was tempted, walked into the store, and ordered a cup of strawberry milk tea.
Watching Jiang Qi skillfully preparing the milk tea, his technique and efficiency were no different from those of the employees in other milk tea shops. The milk tea he served was even better-looking than the ones sold outside.
The transparent cup was covered with cheese milk cap, and the bottom was filled with beautiful milk tea that faded from dark red to pink, made of a mixture of yogurt, fresh milk, and strawberry jam. Jiang Qi, who had nothing to do, had inserted a slice of lemon on the rim of the cup.
Zhou Yuan couldn't help but take photos on the spot.
"Boss Jiang, this cup of milk tea is only 10 yuan, it's too cheap." Zhou Yuan exclaimed.
Jiang Qi didn't have the heart to tell him how much a jar of cheap strawberry jam cost.
"It's not my main business, it's just a hobby and a sideline." Jiang Qi said with a smile.
After drinking half a cup of milk tea, Zhou Yuan felt relaxed and happy.
Enjoying the free air conditioning and drinking 10-yuan milk tea, Zhou Yuan looked at the full notebook shelves and suddenly thought what a wonderful thing it would be if Jiang Qi and his team could take over the company's team-building project.
You can go to the amusement park, eat the vegetable noodles made by Huang Fugui, and drink the milk tea made by Jiang Qi. Is there any more perfect team building in the world than this?
Zhou Yuan thought of the little gossip that her colleague shared with her this morning.
"Um, Boss Jiang, I have a little piece of gossip you want to hear?"
"Rumor?" Jiang Qi was a little curious.
"It's about this team building." Zhou Yuan said excitedly, "This team building seems to be related to a project that our company is cooperating with Audiovisual Media, so our boss attaches great importance to this team building."
"Audio and Video Media?" Jiang Qi felt that the name of this media company sounded familiar. He took out his mobile phone and checked and found that it was the leading domestic audio and video product company.
The company's main business before was to produce videotapes, records, and VCDs. Jiang Qi bought a lot of records produced by this company when he was in junior high school. However, the audio-visual industry has been in a downturn in recent years, and the audio-visual media has been slow to transform and has not kept up with the pace of the times, and has been on a downward slope.
Even so, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
For Zhou Yuan and her company, the project in cooperation with Audio and Video Media should be a big project.
No wonder their boss attaches so much importance to this team-building event and even wants to conduct an on-site investigation.
"So, Boss Jiang, you have to work hard to get this order. If our team building this time is really related to cooperation, then the price our boss offers may be more than 138 per person. If you really get this order, you will make a fortune."
Jiang Qi smiled and said, "I do want to work hard, but this effort also requires some information. Why don't you tell me what kind of person your boss is, what kind of books he likes, and by the way, tell me some information about my competitors."
Jiang Qi only knew that Zhou Yuan and their boss had chosen three script-killing stores, but Zhou Yuan did not say which the other two were.
Zhou Yuan immediately said, "It's the JC Detective Museum and the Mystery Interpretation Society."
"Boss Jiang, let me tell you, if our boss comes here, just let him play the noodle-eating book, and he will definitely win. I don't believe that anyone in this world can resist the green vegetable noodles in your store. I'm not saying, your green vegetable noodles are too outrageous. Do you know how long I spent thinking about it after I ate it that day? If I hadn't had time to come back for a second try, I really wanted to spend 138 just to eat that bowl of green vegetable noodles."
"If you want to watch it again, you can do it this afternoon." Jiang Qi said with a smile, "There are exactly eight people who have made an appointment to watch "MasterChef Contest" at 2:30 this afternoon. Liu Lan told me that those eight people are all rookies. If you don't mind, I'll ask them if they are willing to include you."
"Anyway, as long as you don't spoil the final twist, whether you play the game actively or not, it shouldn't be a problem to play it a second time, and it won't ruin the gaming experience for other players."
Zhou Yuan was moved.
She happened to have received her salary last week, so she had enough money in her wallet and could afford a bowl of vegetable noodles for 138 yuan.
She happened to have nothing to do this afternoon and originally wanted to relax at home.
Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"I want to eat two bowls of noodles. Boss Jiang, you promised me last time, give me one more bowl."
"OK."
Jiang Qi sent a message to Liu Lan, asking Liu Lan to ask the 8 guests who had made reservations in the morning if they were willing to add one more person.
"By the way, you haven't mentioned your boss yet? The bosses of media companies like yours are usually not too old, right? About 30 years old?" Jiang Qi asked.
Zhou Yuan drank the milk tea in the cup. Seeing that she was still unsatisfied, Jiang Qi simply made her another cup for free since he had nothing to do anyway.
"Our boss is very young, he seems to be only 28 today." Zhou Yuan said, "I heard from old colleagues that our boss is a rich second-generation, he used the 2 million given by his father to start our company. It's amazing, he has made the company so big in just a few years."
Jiang Qi had great respect for Zhou Yuan's boss.
Some people have lost the 2 million given by their father at the age of 23.
Some people have successfully started their own business at the age of 28 with the 2 million yuan given by their father.
What a stark contrast.
What a touching and inspiring story.
"What's your boss's name?" Jiang Qi felt that he had to know the name of this outstanding entrepreneur and then tell Yu Fang.
"Fang Jing."
As we were chatting, the daughter of the owner of the noodle shop next door came over with a cup to buy milk tea.
Jiang Qi had just finished making her milk tea when she met two customers who wanted to buy ice cream. Customers came one after another, and by the time Jiang Qi finished her work, Liu Lan had already arrived at the store.
Liu Lan had a meeting at 2 o'clock this afternoon so she came early. As soon as she entered the store, she found Zhou Yuan also smiling and greeting her.
"Jiang Qi, did you see the message I sent you?"
"What news?"
"The eight guests who were scheduled to meet at 2:30 pm have changed their appointment time to 2 pm, and they will be here soon. Please call Uncle Huang and ask him to hurry up. Also, they have agreed to add one more person. Who is that extra person?" Liu Lan said.
Jiang Qi looked at his phone and saw that it was already 1:50, so he quickly called Huang Fugui.
"It's me." Zhou Yuan raised her hand weakly.
"Please urge others in the work group and ask them to come earlier and not be late." Jiang Qi said.
"Okay." Liu Lan began to @ all members.
Jiang Qi handed Zhou Yuan the extra cup of milk tea that he had made for her. Zhou Yuan took it with surprise, took a big sip, walked to the shelf and started looking at it.
"Boss Jiang, how long does it usually take for your store's "Nine" to be opened? I often see people in the group saying that your store's DM is very good at opening reasoning books. I have wanted to play this book for a long time but have never dared to."
There are now more than 200 people in the store’s appointment group, and the group is very active, all thanks to Jiang Wanwan’s 9 small accounts.
Her biggest hobby every day is to switch between countless small accounts, pretending to be different customers in the store to chat, and while chatting, she would ask people if they want to make an appointment, and crazily recommend the store's exclusive books and mystery books. She plays nine roles by herself, four women and five men.
Under the leadership of Jiang Wanwan, most of the customers in this group are quite active, more active than the large groups of 500 people in Jiang Qijia's other stores.
If Zhou Yuan saw 11 people praising "Jiu" in the group, then at least 5 of them were Jiang Wanwan's smurfs.
"It depends on the person. If there are more beginners, it will take more than 10 hours. If all the players are online and can push hard, it will take about 7 hours at the fastest. I have never seen anything faster."
"Want to play Nine?" Liu Lan asked excitedly, "There are five guests playing Nine on Monday night. If you play, you can complete the game."
Zhou Yuan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, 7 to 10 hours, if you're not careful you'll end up working all night. Recently our company has been working overtime like crazy. I came to see you guys at 10 o'clock that night because I just got off work. I was supposed to work overtime today, but I don't know why it was suddenly cancelled."
"It's a good thing it was cancelled. I would have been sick of working overtime during this period. Although the boss is working overtime with us, I'm not the boss. The overtime pay is so little that it's not enough for me to contribute to the company..."
Zhou Yuan's complaints about overtime came to an abrupt end.
Someone came into the store.
"Welcome, do you have an appointment or..."
The leader was a young man in his twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, looking very steady, and dressed in casual clothes.
"I have an appointment for the 'MasterChef Contest' at 2pm this afternoon. It seems there is one more person joining. The other seven people have gone to buy fruit and will be here soon."
"Okay, please go sit on the sofa for a while. We can start reading when everyone is here." Jiang Qi said with a smile.
Huang Fugui has already reached the entrance of the alley. He said in the group a minute ago that he would be able to enter the store in a minute at most.
"The eight of us are all newbies and have never played a script-killing game before, so we may need you to explain to us how to play it when the time comes." The young man said, "I still need to confirm that the game I arranged with your customer service on WeChat was about a team-building game. Is this game really a team-building game?"
"Of course." Jiang Qi nodded. "This version is very suitable for team building. We have had students from more than a dozen university clubs use this version for team building."
The young man nodded and began to look at the rack.
"Can I ask your last name?" Jiang Qi asked, "My last name is Jiang, and I'm the owner of this script-killing store."
"My last name is Fang," Mr. Fang said, "Can I see the books on your shelf?"
"Of course." Jiang Qi nodded, and when he turned around, he found Zhou Yuan standing there with a dazed look on her face.
There was a hint of fear in the daze, and a hint of despair in the fear.
Zhou Yuan walked silently to the door of the store, and Jiang Qi followed her without knowing why.
"It's over. Did he hear what I just said? Will I be fired for stepping into the company with my left foot on Monday?" Zhou Yuan murmured in despair.
"Huh?" Jiang Qi didn't understand.
"He is my boss." Zhou Yuan's face was full of despair.
Jiang Qi subconsciously looked at Fang Jing.
Fang Jing was looking at the book on the shelf.
He is so efficient! In the morning, he said he would visit three stores for field inspections, and then he pretended to be a customer to make an appointment.
"Boss Jiang, you said I'm going to run away now, and then you told me that the person who wanted to make up the money couldn't come because of something urgent. Do you think it's feasible?"
